Need urgent advice on eggs viability

[darlingja]

Hi
I need urgent advice. I hope someone with knowledge will reply asap. Thank you.

This will be my second time to incubate eggs.
My first lot is in lockdown .
I ordered 30 fertile quail eggs online from southwest game birds. It was supposed to arrived Thursday 7/30. So I ordered incubator from Amazon to be delivered Friday 7/31 aka today. So the eggs can rest for one day narrow side down.
The eggs were delivered Wednesday. One day early. I received 36 eggs.
I candle the eggs. 19 was super fresh with no air cell at all. 8 with minimal attached air cell. 3 have detached air cell with tiny bubbles. 3 saddled. 2 has a dark dot inside and 1 unknown.
(I learned all these terms from reading hundreds of blog before I actually try.)

Amazon emailed me to let me know that the incubator will be delayed and deliver on Tuesday 8/4.
Now I have eggs sitting on my kitchen counter since Wednesday. My house temperature is around 74-78 degrees farenheit.
Will my eggs survive until Tuesday?
I still have to set it up and let it run for couple hours.
Please advise on best course of action.
If I ordered another brand of incubator today the earliest I will get it is Sunday.
Thank you

What kind of incubator? It would have been best to order the incubator where it would get there a week early, so you can run it for a week to stabilize it. What breed of quail? Your house is too warm. Can you find somewhere cooler to keep them? It should be pretty high humidity too. 60 degrees is best, with about 70% humidity IMO. Tuesday is a long time. The hatch rate will probably not be as high, but you'll still have some hatch. Do you have a calibrated thermometer to check your incubator temp with? Just store them in a cool room and hope for the best. Make sure you tip the eggs once a day while being stored. Good job learning about incubation before starting.

The eggs were supposed to arrived 2 weeks later, but somehow they managed to collect all and sent them out. I didn't know until they sent me email notify me of shipment. So I had to scramble and order incubator. The earliest is supposed to be today.
Back to my house. I decide to put ice packs in coolers with a hygrometer. Hoping to put eggs in there because my house is too warm per your advice.
